The Good Samaritan

In the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan a social outcast comes to the aid of a man who has been robbed and abandoned at the roadside. Millet’s painting makes a modern analogy of this moral tale, but with an added satirical twist. Rather than a victim of attack, the ailing figure on the right appears to have fallen into a drunken stupor.
